We are planning on implementing the Oracle eBusiness
Suite 11.5.5 in the near future. The application
servers (IAS) will be on IBM pSeries (rs/6000) boxes.

We are considering the pSeries and S390 for the
Oracle 9I Database. Problem is that Oracle still
has not certified the eBusiness Suite 11.5.5 with the
Oracle 9I DB on S390. Oracle has stated that the S390
is one of their "strategic platforms" but they don't
seem in any hurry do perform certifications with the
S390 DB.

Is anyone utilizing any release of the eBusiness Suite
with the DB on S390?

Is anyone utilizing Oracle 9I DB on S390? What has
been your experience?

Is Oracle DB on S390 a reasonable solution?

From your experience, is S390 a strategic platform
for Oracle products?
